Join the annual Trick-or-Treatapult on Halloween night!

We're gonna launch Trick-or-Treatapults all Halloween evening for little mercs that can't go out for candy!

The general plan for the event:
Prepare: get your giftapults, and update your binds.
What to gift? If you want to be remembered: make it something nice that they will keep and remember you when it says "Gift from... on October 31st."  If you want to be subtle: make it a tool so the "gift from" will go away when they use it.  Painted weapons, promotional weapons, cosmetics/hats, taunts, Eternaween spells, dueling games, giftapults, refined metal. Just not crates.  You might even apply a Trick-or-Treatapult description tag to the item before you wrap it!
2022 gift theme: Candy Canes[backpack.tf] and Frying Pans[backpack.tf]

When you're not launching, especially before the evening starts, get more people to join us: "Launch Trick-or-Treatapults all Halloween evening for little mercs that can't go out for candy!"

All Halloween evening (about 6pm-midnight your local time) launch your Treatapults.  We'll try to coordinate in this group's text/voice Chat every (half?) hour for a mass launch: "The big hand is almost on the 12, everybody, get ready for the next group launch!"
Announce your next Treatapult in chat with something like:
in Group Chat: "I'm about to 'pult a pan!"
in game (a bind?): "Happy Halloween! I'm launching a Trick-or-Treatapult for a li'l merc somewhere in TF2! Join us at the Trick-or-Treatapult steam group"
Wrap your giftapult (it announces what you did on your game's server)
Then go to your inventory and click "Deliver Gift!"


When you're done for the night, instead of eating the leftovers, you can launch them all in a grand finale!

Let us know your own plan (like number of giftapults & timezone/hours you'll be online & 'pulting)!
